No Kimberley Summer Theatre for 2014 season Society faces large deficit and will fundraise until cleared C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Board of Directors of Kimberley Summer Theatre regrets to say that they will not be producing any shows this coming season, but

the Society is not disbanding says board member Roxanne Harper.

Harper says it’s unfortunate for all concerned but the Board feels it must deal with the large deficit from the 2013 season before any future plans are made.

Mounting a production is hugely expensive, and in normal circumstances Summer Theatre Society members apply for grants and fundraise all year in order to finance the next summer’s season.

Now, the Society finds itself in the position of having to fundraise to pay debt.

“In short, we have no money with which to finance a season, and in fact we find ourselves still carrying a large deficit from last year’s productions,” Harper said.

“When we became aware of the seriousness of the financial situation at the end of last summer’s season, we were shocked to say the least. There are a number of rea-

sons why this situation came about, and lots of blame to go around, but the Board is, of course, ultimately responsible.”

Harper says that in an effort to reduce the debt, four concert type shows were offered in the fall, Classical Enchantment, The Way We Were, Unforgettable and Prelude to a Kiss.

“These shows were very well received by those who attended but we were very disappointed to

find that revenues could not possibly justify the continuation of the series.”

At the Annual General Meeting in January, the fifteen members who attended agreed that dealing with the deficit was of primary importance and no shows should be produced until all debt was paid.

The exception was Prelude to a Kiss, as plans for that show were too far along to be cancelled.

The ‘why’ of church, not the ‘how’

Moderator of the United Church of Canada visits Kootenays, holds service in Cranbrook Barry Coulter

The Cranbrook United Church was packed full on Sunday, April 27, with regular congregation members and visitors from all over the East Kootenay, to meet the Right Rev. Gary Paterson, Moderator of the United Church of Canada.

The Moderator is the voice, face and spiritual leader of Canada’s largest Protestant church. He or she is elected to three-year terms. Rev. Paterson, from Vancouver, is halfway through his term.

Rev. Paterson, who is also the first openly gay Moderator in the Church’s almost 90year history, sees his mandate as helping the church deal with the challenge and change of the times — such as aging congregations, declining attendances, and increasing secularism. As Moderator, he sees these challenges close hand in his travels around the country.

“You can almost choose what narrative you’re going to privilege,” he told the Townsman in an inter-

view after Sunday’s service. “Clearly there are challenging times right across the country.

“I’d say about 20 per cent of our congregations are looking to the future and saying, ‘We’re probably going to close.’ But there are another 20 per cent that are saying, ‘Actually, we’re growing and thriving, and we’re really excited about our future.’ There are 60 per cent in the middle, and they have a choice.

Some will probably find different ways of being church, and others will thrive and grow.”

Paterson, who took the pulpit Sunday in Cranbrook, touched on the subject in his sermon, which was based around Isaiah 43 (“Behold, I am doing a new thing”), along the way referencing E.E. Cummings, Mark Twain and Leonard Cohen. It was couched in a pseudo-mathematical equation — MC = FP x FV x FS (motivation for change equals felt pain times future vision times first steps — “if any one on the one side of the equation is zero, the ‘MV’ will be zero too”).

One of the key points comes from the Scriptural verses (Isaiah 43:15-21), which in essence calls one to remember the past but not dwell upon it, instead looking to the future with new ways of doing things.

“I’m seeing people willing to experiment and to look at different ways of being church,” Rev. Paterson told the Townsman. “I’ve gone around and told people I’m more interested in the ‘why’ of church, rather than the ‘how.’

The ‘how’ changes depending on context, times, what have you.

The ‘why’ — why we gather together — that’s crucial.”

Churches, of course, are feeling pressures from a number of sources. Rev. Paterson was asked about the split between some Christian churches’ increasing tendency towards more liberal viewpoints and other churches who are more evangelical and conservative.

“Whatever that tension is — however you described it, between liberal and conservative — it’s still going on,” he responded.

“We’ve seen that expressed in our own home government, and still within the church.

“But if you actually look at the statistics of every denomination in North America, every one of them is in decline. The mainline liberal Protestant tradition — United Church, Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian — they’ve been declining for about 30 or 40 years.

The evangelicals, though, are actually noting a small dip that started in the year 2000. The Southern

Baptists — the biggest evangelical conservative denomination in North America — have had to cut national staff twice because of a decline in givings.

“Which isn’t to celebrate. That’s tough news for everybody.”

Again, a point can be made in Isaiah.

“Our society is going through a real sea change,” he said. “And the challenge now for churches now transcends liberal/conservative. It says what is a way of taking good news and actually making it relevant, or find a way to make it connect with people who distrust institutions, who say ‘spiritual but not religious,’ and I need a new metaphor, a new language, to tell the old, old story. Same story, different way of telling it.”

Rev. Paterson was elected in August, 2012, as the United Church of Canada’s 41st Moderator — also the first openly gay moderator in the church’s history. He told a news conference at the time that his sexual orientation was a non-issue. On Sunday he was asked if that statement had been confirmed, and he agreed.

“It’s one of the wonderful things in the United Church — last August we celebrated 25 years since our historic decision in 1988, when we said all people, regardless of sexu-

Roosville border backups a safety concern

More inspectors required, US official says Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Border crossing can sometimes mean spending a good deal of time waiting in line ups, but for those who live near the Roosville Port of Entry, there are bigger concerns.

Mike Cuffe, Repre-

sentative for the State of Montana, said the issue is with traffic backing up at the Canadian entrance during high flow times. Cuffe said it impedes local traffic and is a concern for emergency vehicles which operate on both sides of the border.

“Eureka Fire Department provides coverage into the southeastern corner of British Columbia, and ambulance or police services could

be needed by anyone living along the Highway 93 or hung up in the traffic jam,” Cuffe said. “Business and private driveways are blocked. People can’t get home from work.

Trucks carrying forest products, gasoline and propane get hung up for hours.”

Cuffe recently outlined his concerns at the AKBLG meeting in Creston earlier in April, and requested help in

contacting the federal government, which has jurisdiction over the border crossings. Cuffe has talked to Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks, as well as other MPs in the area.

Wilks said it is an issue he is well aware of and brought up a couple years ago with then Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews in regards to upgrades at Roosville.

ing way.”

Rev. Paterson said that when he was elected, the subject “seemed to be a complete non-issue within our denomination.

“It’s problematic for other denominations around the world,” he said. “And that’s sometimes been a place for conversation and dialogue. I got three letters or emails in total after I was elected — people expressing some worry, that was primarily ‘you’re not going to make that the key issue of your being

moderator, are you?’

And I said no. I’m called by the spirit to address a number of issues. Primarily I’ve seen the mandate of my time as helping us wrestle with these challenging, changing times.

“But I’m excited to be part of a church that says we offer radical welcome, hospitality and inclusivity.”

Sunday’s service was attended from people from all parts of the East Kootenay, and also broadcast to Creston.

Roosville border concerns From Page 3 “Some upgrades have been done to the crossing but I think what ended up happening in this, and what I was trying to explain in my presentation, was that it’s all fine and dandy to have three lanes but when Highway 93 is only single lane highway you could have 15 lanes, you still only have one lane going to them,” Wilks said.

He said the other problem was that when they did the upgrades to the Canadian border crossing, they put the new septic system on the eastern side of the highway.

Wilks said the argument is that since the federal government has just put in the new septic system, it doesn’t want to demolish part of the rock face to move the septic.

“That’s not my problem,” Wilks said.

“That’s poor planning by someone.”

Wilks said he will speak with the minister and his staff again in the next few

weeks, and suggest that they look at expanding highway 93 to allow for better access into the three lanes.

“That would solve most of the problem,” he said, adding both crossings have three lanes. “The Americans, they have three lanes, but the they’ve widened their side of the highway so that you’ve got the two lines going into the border crossing.

We have one line. It just keeps backing up.”

He hopes the minister will come to an agreement to blast that rock face a little bit so that they can have two lines leading to the Canadian Port of Entry.

Cuffe said he will continue to put a spotlight on the problem. He said there is also an issue with not enough Canadian customs agents at the crossing during the busy times.

“The issue isn’t with the inspectors at the station, the problem is that more inspectors are needed,” he said.

He gave a number of suggestions to

improve the flow of traffic through the border.

Cuffe’s suggestions are: 1. Ensure the manning level assigned to this station is at full complement. Consider whether that number is sufficient or should be increased.

2. Open the three lanes of traffic early on peak traffic holidays.

3. Open a fourth inspection lane on the west side of the building, at least during peak traffic flow.

4. Begin use of Nexus Cards for a Fast Pass Lane.

5. Do long range planning.

Wilks said he agrees with every one of Cuffe’s points.

“We need to find a way to have that traffic flow a little better,” Wilks said.

Cuffe suggests that anyone concerned could add leverage to his efforts by reaching out to other MPs in B.C. and Alberta.

perience are appreciated by the board of KSTS and by the community,” Harper said.

The KSTS office has been moved to the Mark Creek Mall building and monthly meetings will still be held.

“We now find ourselves to be a fundraising organization, at least for the foreseeable future,” Harper said.

“Thanks to our mem-

bers, friends, supporters, donors, anonymous donors and our families we have made some real progress in reducing the debt. The recent spaghetti dinner was a huge success and again we thank all those who came out. Plans are in place for the sale of chicken and beef meat pies which will be available in late April, the raffle of a garden glider and

barbecue, and of course our annual garage sale.”

The board would welcome any ideas for fundraisers, and certainly any assistance anyone could offer. Although the three remaining Board members are considered by the Society Act to be responsible for the debt, any new persons willing to join are not. Please call 250-427-4561 for

more information.

Harper emphasizes that Summer Theatre is not done — this isn’t the first time a season has been cancelled, and another season may follow in the future. But right now the priority is debt reduction.

“Thank you for your past and future support,” Harper said.

Highschool musical

Legally Blonde less than four weeks away A stellar cast of familiar faces and newcomers prepare for opening night on May 21 For the Bulletin

Tickets are now on sale for Selkirk Secondary’s production of Legally Blonde, which opens at McKim Theatre on May 21st. The cast has been busy for months, the orchestra is already hard at work, and dozens of behindthe-scenes helpers are putting together costumes, props, and set-pieces for what promises to be a great production.

Audiences may remember the 2001 movie staring Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon played Elle Woods, a not-very-serious UCLA senior who goes to Harvard law in search of love

and ends up realizing that she is capable of incredible things. Legally Blonde the movie was made into a musical which opened on Broadway in 2007 and London’s West End in 2010. Kimberley audiences will be treated to a hilarious and fun production with great music, dancing, and acting.

Selkirk’s production will see the return of many actors who graced the stage in Les Misérables, which ran at McKim Theatre in February 2013. Clara MacLeod (Enjolras in Les Mis) will return to play the lead role of Elle Woods. Gustaf Hagland (Jean Valjean) will return as Warner Huntington, the man whose dumping of Elle Woods in the opening scenes inspires her to head to Harvard Law to prove herself. Aria Siega, Brooke Janzer, and Courtney Crawford play Elle’s three best

friends from UCLA, Serena, Pilar, and Margot. Gaetan Boue (Javert in Les Mis) returns as Callahan, the slightly sinister law professor at Harvard.

Jordan Anderson (Mme. Thenardier) returns as fitness queen and possible husband-murderer Brooke Wyndham.

Gemma Remple (Fantine) returns to the stage as the incredibly quirky hair stylist Paulette Buonafonte. New to the stage this year are Allison Stoddart, Drew Lyall, Joey Raymond, Jason Van Zyl, and Mac Ramsay, who plays Emmett Forest, intern and T.A. to Professor Callahan, and Elle’s friend and possible love interest at Harvard.

The orchestra will have many familiar faces for Kimberley audiences, including several excellent players from the Kimberley Community Band, and all four fantastic musi-

cians from Cranbrook-based The littlejazz Orchestra. With 18 players in all, including winds, strings, and a full rhythm section, this orchestra will do a fantastic job of the great music from this show. Also especially exciting for directors Bob McCue and Sven Heyde is the fact that two of the student actors, Courtney Crawford and Clara MacLeod, are also choreographing the show.

Both are doing exceptional jobs teaching their cast-mates some intricate dance moves.

Legally Blonde runs at McKim Theatre from May 21-24 and tickets are now on sale at McKim School in Cranbrook and Lotus Books in Kimberley.

Tickets are $12, with $5 student tickets on Thursday night the 22nd, and $5 seniors’ tickets for the matinée on Saturday the 24th.s

Be vigilant when lighting open fires: that’s the warning from the Southeast Fire Centre after a spate of early-season wildfires in the East Kootenay.

Since April 1, there have been seven wildfires in the region, all of them human caused and resulting from poorly planned open burning, the Fire Centre said in an April 24 news release.

The most serious incident was an out-of-control grass burn on April 10 in the Elko/Grasmere area that grew to 18.3 hectares. It took 20 personnel from the Wildfire Management Branch to

extinguish the fire.

The Fire Centre said that although clearing and burning in the spring can reduce wildfire risks later in the season, any open burning must be done safely. Before carrying out any burns, follow these steps: • Ensure that enough people, water and tools are on hand to control the fire and prevent it from escaping.

• Do not burn during windy conditions.

Weather conditions can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires.

• Create a fireguard at least one metre around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material.

• Never leave a fire unattended. Make sure that your fire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before you leave the area.

Before conducting any burn, also check with your local fire department, municipality and regional district to see if any open burning restrictions or bylaws are in ef-

Inconvenient truth of pine beetle

L

ast week’s column on Earth Day myths attracted a fair amount of criticism.

One tireless member of the “Alberta tar sands killing the planet” crowd scolded me for daring to mention that 60 per cent of the oil pollution in the oceans around North America comes from natural seeps. That’s eight times more than all pipeline and tanker spills combined, and it’s been going on 24 hours a day for the last 10,000 years or so.

This fact blows another hole in the carefully crafted narrative that only Canadian oil exports to Asia would destroy our delicate ecosystems.

That narrative is why the daily Alaska supertankers along the B.C. coast are ignored, as is the barbaric shale oil rush in North Dakota that can be seen from space.

U.S. oil barons are flaring off the vast volume of natural gas that comes up with the more valuable light crude, while the U.S. environment lobby obsesses over the Keystone XL pipeline.

Here’s another one that may upset people indoctrinated by our school system, media and our supposedly green B.C. Liberal government.

B.C.’s recent pine beetle epidemic was caused by human carbon emissions, right?

Everybody knows that. Gordon Campbell hammered the point home in speeches for years.

In 2012 I participated in a B.C. forests ministry tour of facilities where hardy seedlings are grown for reforestation. Test plantings were also underway to see if the range of southern tree species is shifting northward due to climate change.

During the bus ride, I BC VIEWS asked the province’s top Tom forest scientists if CampFletcher bell was right. The answer?

We don’t have enough evidence to conclude that. As for shifting tree habitat, those decades-long experiments are continuing.

The scientists confirmed what I already knew, which is that the most recent bark beetle epidemic is the latest of many. It’s the largest “on record,” but the record goes back less than a century.

In 2008 I interviewed Lorne Swanell on the occasion of his 100th birthday. A graduate of UBC’s school of forest engineering, Swanell began his career with the forests ministry in 1930. After a year as a ranger, he was assigned to the Kamloops region to help deal with a pine beetle epidemic.

Conventional wisdom on the latest outbreak holds that it spread so far because of a lack of cold winters, attributed to human carbon emissions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I grew up in northern B.C., and my last two visits to the Peace country were both in January. In 2004 I recall changing planes on the tarmac of Prince George airport, moving briskly in the daytime temperature near -40 C. That night, and subsequent nights, the mercury dropped to -50 C. In January 2013 I returned for some discussions on the Enbridge pipeline route, and experienced a relatively balmy -30 C in the daytime. So when I hear people talk about the end of cold winters in northern B.C. because of global warming, it’s difficult to square with personal experience.

I can hear the rebuttals already. It takes long periods of extreme cold to kill the pine beetle. How long? Longer than those ones, of course.

Similarly flexible theories are being advanced to explain the 17-year “pause” in Earth’s average surface temperature rise, the growing Antarctic ice sheet, and this past winter’s “polar vortex.”

If anyone has substantial evidence that CO2 from human activity was the trigger mechanism for the latest beetle outbreak in B.C., I’d like to see it. But please, spare me the affirmations of quasi-religious faith that often pass for climate change arguments today.

Personally, I have never been such a competitor, even with myself. My lovely wife played competitive sports in her youth and my daughter loved to race, but my son and I cannot be bothered to compete physically with others; there are the finer things in life.

My old friend Alan was always rushing about. He also loved to climb mountains but managed to do so without noticing whatever was going on around him while he climbed.

When he finally handed in his

boots and trusty ice-axe, I am convinced he still hadn’t really noticed bears, elk, moose, goats¸ trilobites or orthoconic cephalopods buried in the rocks, nor any of the myriad wild flowers nestled among the boulders. He was always in such a rush to get to the top then down again.

In an old album I found a picture taken in the days of my youth. In it, I and a couple of fellows are traversing the Welsh mountains in a wet snow-storm.

Whether we were heading to a camp or from it, to a rock-climbing cliff or away, or merely to the local pub, we are not rushing about. Shoulders hunched against the elements and hands firmly ensconced in trouser pockets, we are ambling.

At other times, in the Alps, we became aware that the mountain guides never hurried, but they usually got where they were headed fast enough.

That’s the way I feel about

things.

A few days ago, I took a lunch and wandered up on to the local hills. It was a very pleasant experience. I spotted the bright little yellow bells sprouting among the dried grasses. I stopped to watch ravens circling in the sky, a blue bird on a fence, a grouse hiding from me in a Peter tree, and to turn Warland over a few rocks because the area has a fascinating geologic history that I find hard to comprehend.

In the fastness of the forest where I had wandered in search of shade, I was almost bowled over by a youngish man bearing a baby on his back. Behind him and the child puffed the apparent mother, who complained to me that it is easier to carry the baby than to trot behind singing nursery rhymes. “Why all the rush?” I asked.

Apparently there is in this frenetic world the need to get exercise in the shortest time possible. So, between chores

and work (and the usual soap operas that must be followed) some folk feel the need to exercise. However, with very little precious time left, they are forced to rush about like self-generated whirlwinds and, consequently, raise a great deal of dust.

They also do not have the time to see what nature is up and about and doing so, in spite of the fact that they are in the great outdoors for a while, they suffer from Nature Deprivation Syndrome. This causes them to go stark raving bonkers and climb Fisher Peak three times in one week.

Imagine running twenty-six miles with 36,000 sweaty people in downtown, smoggy Boston. I can’t; I am going for a stroll around a local park and, if they’re blooming yet, will smell the roses.

However, if a person is lumbered, as I have been, with a companion who is an ardent botanist, geologist or a photographer desperate to obtain the ultimate shot, there will be no rushing about, except to make it safely back to base before night fall.

Donetsk is not Sarajevo

W

ith due apologies to God, Voltaire and the Ukrainians, I must point out that if Ukraine did not exist, it would not be necessary to invent it. It is not a great power, it has no resources the world cannot do without, and it is not a “vital strategic interest” to anybody except the Ukrainians themselves. Not even to the Russians, although they are acting at the moment as though it were.

Bosnia was nobody’s vital strategic interest either. It isn’t now, and it wasn’t a hundred years ago. But Bismarck warned in 1898 that if there was ever another major war in Europe, it would come out of “some damned silly thing in the Balkans,” and an assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 fulfilled his prophecy to the letter.

Some things have changed since then, however. The next world war will not come out of Ukraine (which is only slightly north-east of the Balkans) no matter what happens in the next few weeks and months.

Russia might invade Ukraine, there might even be a new Cold War for a while, but there will be no fighting in Europe beyond Ukraine’s borders.

Indeed, apart from the Balkans there has been no full-scale war in Europe for the past 69 years, and there was never the slightest risk that the fighting in the 1990s would spread beyond the borders of former Yugoslavia. Indeed, there was probably never a single day during the 45 years of the Cold War when either side seriously considered attacking the other.

The reason was simple: they knew what would happen next, even if neither side used the thousands of nuclear weapons at its disposal. Twice in thirty years, in 191418 and 1939-45, a major war using modern weapons had been fought over almost all

of Europe’s territory.

On the first occasion, they lost a generation of young men. The second time, most countries from Germany eastwards lost around ten percent of their populations killed — and most of the casualties that time were civilians.

Half of the continent’s great historic cities were reduced to ruins even without the help of nuclear weapons. It Gwynne was a very expensive education, but the Europeans did Dyer finally learn their lesson: don’t do this any more.

That is why, even as Russian tanks drive right up to Ukraine’s eastern borders and the Ukrainian army prepares to die in a fight it knows it would lose, nobody else in Europe is getting ready for war. If the Russians want part or all of Ukraine, they can have it — and pay the long-term price for taking it, which would be very high. But nothing in Europe is worth blowing all of Europe up for.

Do not be alarmed by the fact that troops and planes from as far away as the U.S. and Canada are currently being sent to NATO countries that border Russia. The numbers are militarily insignificant. Their purpose is simply to remind the Russians that the alliance will protect its own members should Moscow ever decide that it has also a right to “protect” Russian-speakers in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

Moscow does not actually need to be reminded of that. It has seized Crimea, and is toying with the idea of seizing more of Ukraine, precisely because that country does not fall under the NATO umbrella.

And it does not belong to NATO because NATO didn’t want to take military responsibility for its defence.

That was an entirely rational decision, because the Russians clearly thought

Ukraine fell within their sphere of influence. This is the first time it has been independent from Russia for any appreciable period of time in the past 350 years.

Moreover, the post-Soviet governments in Kiev had been horrendously corrupt and incompetent, the country as a result is even poorer than it was in Soviet times – and the population in the eastern part of Ukraine is terrified of getting tangled up with the West because it inhabits an industrial museum whose products are only saleable in Russia. What eastern Ukrainians really fear for is their jobs, not their right to speak Russian.

All this was clear twenty years ago, and that’s when NATO decided that Ukraine’s independence would have to depend on Russia’s good-will, not on NATO’s tanks.

And for twenty years Russia more or less respected Ukraine’s independence, while seeking, naturally enough, to ensure that its governments were friendly.

The collapse of the status quo is partly the European Union’s fault, for demanding that Ukraine choose between closer trade and travel ties with the EU and full membership in Russia’s “Eurasian Union”. It is even more the fault of Moscow: President Vladimir Putin has been both emotional and opportunistic. He’s scaring people, which is never a good idea.

But if he does take more or even all of Ukraine, the West will not fight him. It will just take in all the Ukrainian refugees, strengthen its eastern defences, and begin the slow process of bringing down Putin by crippling the Russian economy. That would take years, but nobody would forget about Ukraine. It is a UN member, and even China has stopped supporting the Russian position. Remember East Timor.

Calgary Flames hire Treliving as new GM C ANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY - The Calgary Flames have hired Brad Treliving to be their general manager.

Flames president of hockey operations Brian Burke officially announced the hiring at an afternoon news conference on Monday.

Treliving, 44, served as assistant GM of the Phoenix Coyotes for the past seven seasons and was in charge of their AHL affiliate in Portland.

Burke served as interim GM after firing Jay Feaster in December.

Treliving, a native of Penticton, B.C., is also assistant GM for Team Canada at the IIHF world championship.

He previously served as president of the Central Hockey League and president and director of hockey operations for the Western Professional Hockey League, which he founded.

The Flames missed the playoffs for the fifth straight season after finishing with a 35-40-7 record for 77 points. Calgary was 13th in the Western Conference standings.

As the Coyotes’ vice-president of hockey operations, Treliving worked closely with GM Don Maloney on personnel matters and helping build a team despite the financial limitations of being run by the NHL for four seasons.

The team made the playoffs in each of their four seasons without an owner before failing to reach the post-season the past two seasons.

Treliving’s duties also included managing the professional and amateur scouting staffs and making player personnel assignments to the team’s minor-league affiliates.

Rutherford retires, Francis takes GM job as Hurricanes shake up front office ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH, N.C. - Jim Rutherford is stepping down as general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes and the team has promoted Hall of Fame player Ron Francis to replace him.

In a series of moves announced Monday, the Hurricanes also hired Mike Vellucci as assistant GM and director of hockey operations and promoted Brian Tatum to assistant general manager.

The 65-year-old Rutherford spent two

decades as the club’s GM, and helped shepherd its move from Hartford to North Carolina.

He assembled the teams that won one Stanley Cup, played for another and reached the Eastern Conference final in 2009. The Hurricanes haven’t made the playoffs since then.

Francis holds team records with 382 goals, 793 assists and 1,186 games played. He has been the team’s vice-president of hockey operations since June 2012.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Chynoweth reflects on Ice season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The dressing room is quiet at Western Financial Place after a heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers ended the playoff run of the Kootenay Ice. Players have wrapped up exit meetings with coaches and management, and have headed back to their respective hometowns across Western Canada.

Focus has now shifted to offseason details such as season ticket renewals and the upcoming WHL Bantam Draft, which goes down on Thursday in Calgary.

As for the 2013/14 edition of the Kootenay Ice, the season ended in a tough fashion after surrendering a 3-1 series lead to the Tabbie Cats.

“Eventually, we just ran out of gas, and give credit to the Medicine Hat Tigers, they came back from a 3-1 series deficit,” said Jeff Chynoweth, general manager for the Kootenay Ice. “Usually the best team wins the series in a seven-game series.”

Though it was a tough exit from the post-season, the Ice came out on top of their first round matchup, upsetting the Calgary Hitmen as the lower seed in six games.

The second half of the season was quite the turnaround from the start, as the team was plagued by inconsistent results, following a pattern of a win and a loss throughout the first four months.

CHRIS PULLEN PHOTO/WWW.CRANBROOKPHOTO.COM

The Kootenay Ice celebrate Jaedon Descheneau’s hat trick during a playoff game against the Calgary Hitmen.

It wasn’t until January that the team strung together four wins in a row, also hitting a run of 16 wins out of 19 games.

“I think the first half of the season was very frustrating for all of us, including the players and the management, but I think after the trade deadline, we were one of the better teams in the Western Hockey League down the stretch,” said Chynoweth.

While injuries are fact of life in hockey, the Ice had to deal with a couple costly ones.

Defenceman Tanner Faith played a grand total of 10 games this year after injuring his shoulder early in the season and once again

upon his return to the lineup. He elected for surgery in early January, which required a three to five-month recovery.

Ryan Chynoweth, who added physicality and grit to the forward corps, only dressed for 42 games, missing the end of the season and playoffs with an upper-body injury.

The Ice also lost valuable experience with late-season and playoff injuries to defencemen Landon Cross and Tyler King.

Then, of course, there was the meningitis incident with Tim Bozon.

“The Bozon thing was something that you don’t really plan on dealing with. It’s a situation

where it’s unfortunate for everybody,” said Chynoweth.

“Hockey isn’t the be all and end all when you go through something like that.”

Bozon, who was acquired from the Kamloops Blazers along with Cross, spent a month in hospital battling meningitis during a road trip into Saskatchewan. Despite the severity of the case, which required doctors to put him in a medically induced coma for more than a week, Bozon was able to pull through and was discharged a month after he was admitted.

Though his hockey career is currently on hold, it sounds like his

rehabilitation is going well back home in France, according to a recent social media update from his Twitter account.

“Injuries are a part of the game and every team goes with it. It’s usually a battle of attrition as you go through the process,” said Chynoweth. “I think, from our end, I don’t think we iced a full lineup from the beginning of March on right through to the playoffs.” “…It eventually catches up to you, but that’s not an excuse. That’s not an excuse why we lost.

I’m just saying you can do it for a period of time, just not an extended period of time.”

Despite injuries, the team found some consistency in the second half of the year, and put up a good fight in the second round of the playoffs, with some definite positives to look forward for next season.

“That’s the beauty of junior hockey, you see the evolution of a player.

They come in at 16 [years old], young boys and they leave at 20 as young men,” said Chynoweth.

“I think that’s what you want and not just hockey players but good ambassadors on and off the ice. “…From my end, personally, I just see the development of all the players, from the start when we got them to the way they finished the year—they’ve all improved in some part of their game and that’s all you can ask for.”

WHL set for league awards, bantam draft TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Downed Route Contractor

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

It will be a busy week for the WHL, with an awards luncheon on Wednesday in Calgary, and Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart is up for WHL Player of the Year and Most Sportsmanlike Player as the Eastern Conference nominee.

On both counts, he will be going up against Mitch Holmberg of the Spokane Chiefs. Holmberg, an overage player, won the WHL scoring race with 62 goals and 118 points.

Reinhart tied Leon Draisaitl of the Prince Albert Raiders as the top scorer in the Eastern Conference, tallying 36 goals and 105 points—one shy of tying a franchise record set by Jarret Stoll.

On Thursday, the WHL will host the bantam draft, with Kootenay holding the 11th overall pick. Garnet Kazuik, the Ice director of scouting, will take the lead on selecting the cream of the crop for the 1999-born age group.

The Ice have six players that will be in their overage season next year, but are only allowed three. Though the draft is a prime time for teams to swap players and picks, Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth is happy to hold firm and take a wait-and-see approach.

“We’re just going to draft the best 1999-born players that we can have and we’ll deal with the 20-year-old situation when the time is right,” said Chynoweth.

Kings, Wild force Game 7 in NHL playoffs Heat complete sweep of Bobcats Associated Press

KINGS 4 SHARKS 2 LOS ANGELES - Justin Williams forced the tiebreaking goal underneath Alex Stalock with 8:04 to play, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on Monday night, rallying all the way back from an 0-3 series deficit to force a decisive Game 7.

Williams and Anze Kopitar each had two goals and an assist, and Jonathan Quick made 25 saves as the Kings became just the ninth team in NHL history to force a seventh game after losing the first three.

Stalock stopped 26 shots in his first NHL playoff start, and James Sheppard scored for the spiraling Sharks.

Just three teams in NHL history have rallied from an 0-3 deficit to win a series. Los Angeles could join them in Game 7 in San Jose on Wednesday.

The winner of the California rivals’ third

playoff meeting in four years will face the top-seeded Anaheim Ducks in the second round.

Williams, a two-time Stanley Cup champion known for clutch playoff goals, also scored in the first period. He reached his stick between Stalock’s pads and knocked home Robyn Regehr’s shot for the goahead score, breaking open a tense game.

WILD 5 AVALANCHE 2 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Zach Parise scored early and late on tipped shots, and the Wild tacked on two empty-net goals for a victory that sent their firstround playoff series to a decisive Game 7.

Parise and Mikko Koivu each had two assists. The teams will meet again in Denver on Wednesday night, with the winner taking on the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference semifi-

nals.

Parise scored just 49 seconds into the game and Mikael Granlund made it 2-0 later in the first period, but a costly turnover by Ryan Suter at the end of a failed 5-on-3 situation led to a short-handed goal for the Avalanche when Paul Stastny scored for the fourth time in the series.

Nick Holden got the tying goal in the second period for the Avalanche, but Parise stole the show for the home team. Parked in the crease with the season on the line, he took a shove in the back from goalie Semyon Varlamov and then outmuscled defenceman Erik Johnson for position on Koivu’s shot from behind the circle with 6:29 left in the game.

PENGUINS 4 BLUE JACKETS 3 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Evgeni Malkin had a hat trick and the Penguins almost blew a four-goal lead before

holding on for the clinching victory in Game 6 of their firstround playoff series.

The Blue Jackets scored three times in a 4:52 span in the third period to turn up the pressure on the Penguins.

Pittsburgh awaits the winner of the New York-Philadelphia series, with the Rangers leading 3-2 going into Tuesday night’s Game 6.

Brandon Sutter also scored and Matt Niskanen had two assists as the Penguins became the first team in the series to score first and win - but barely. Marc-Andre Fleury made 24 saves.

Fedor Tyutin, Artem Anisimov and Nick Foligno scored late to thrill a crowd of 19,189 who stood and roared for the final 4 minutes.

The Penguins were hard pressed to just fight off the upstart Blue Jackets after goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who also had 24 saves, was pulled for an extra attacker with under 2 minutes left.

Ste ve Reed Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - LeBron James heard the cheers from the crowd as he lay on the court holding his right thigh and writhing in pain.

It only seemed to awaken the four-time league MVP. James scored 19 of his game-high 31 points after sustaining a thigh bruise early in the third quarter, helping the Miami Heat earn a firstround sweep of the Charlotte Bobcats with a 109-98 victory Monday night. He finished Game 4 10 of 19 from the field and had nine assists.

“It’s definitely sore,” James said.

“I’m fortunate we were able to close out tonight and I can give it a little rest.”

He should have plenty of time.

The two-time defending NBA champions will await the winner of Brooklyn-Toronto series, which is tied 2-2. If that series goes the distance it won’t wrap up until Sunday.

James said playing Charlotte was a good first test and Miami is headed in the right direction as it looks to win its third straight NBA championship.

“We got tested by a young, scrappy Bobcats team,” said James, who averaged 36.2 points in eight games against Charlotte this season. “We responded with a championship-type attitude.”

Chris Bosh added 17 points and Dwyane Wade battled through foul trouble and finished with 15 as Miami extended its winning streak over Charlotte to 20 games.

Mariners’ Cano returns to New York Associated Press

SEATTLE - Robinson Cano knows it will be awkward from the moment he walks into Yankee Stadium and has to figure out the route to the visitors’ clubhouse for the first time in his career.

And that’s before he takes the field in the Bronx wearing something other than pinstripes.

After signing his $240 million, 10year contract with Seattle in the off-season, Cano will return to New

York for the first time as a member of the Mariners on Tuesday night when they open a three-game series against the Yankees.

Cano figures the reaction will be mixed. He was supposed to be the next great Yankees player to spend his career in New York, following the lead of Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and the soon-to-be retiring Derek Jeter.

Players simply don’t give up the limelight of New York to go be isolated in the Pacific Northwest.

Raptors growing from playoff experience Gregory Strong Canadian Press

TORONTO - Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey used words like “growing,” “adjusting” and “learning” frequently throughout a 30-minute conference call with reporters Monday.

His young team is soaking up the NBA playoff experience and showing the Brooklyn Nets that they won’t be pushovers at the same time.

What Casey’s squad lacks in experience, it makes up for in effort.

That was on full display a day earlier as Toronto showed its mettle in an 87-79 road victory that tied the best-of-seven first-round series at two games apiece.

The Raptors are focused on results this spring but they’re also trying to build a foundation they hope will lead to long-term success.

“We’re a young team, nobody expected us to be here,” Casey said.

“Every experience is a new experience for us.

Guys are growing in every situation.”

The Toronto Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets NBA playoff series is tied up at 2-2.

Toronto has held its own against a tough Brooklyn lineup that features veteran players Kevin Garnett, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and Deron Williams.

The Raptors are banged up and have had to go deep into their bench over the first four games. But they have responded well as a team in a series that will be a key building block for the future.

“Going through the playoffs is nothing but a plus for our franchise,” Casey said. “As I said, you don’t want it to be a one-time (appearance)

in the playoffs and never be seen again for six more years. You want it to be a growing experience. With our core guys being so young, that should be their goal going forward.

“Now that you’ve been in the playoffs once, you know what it tastes like, you know what it feels like. You know going through the season when the coach is preaching physicality, how hard you’ve got to play, how you’ve got to take care of the ball, why he’s saying that. Because all that comes into play in playoff basketball.”

Several Toronto players are nursing injuries but most are expected to be available for Wednesday’s Game 5 at Air Canada Centre.

Among the starters, Kyle Lowry has been hobbled by a sore knee and Amir Johnson has had ankle problems. Patrick Patterson was “a little gimpy last night,” according to Casey, who added that Landry Fields (back) was “feeling much better.”

“We’re nicked up, banged up a little bit but nothing that we know of that’s major right now,” Casey said.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. The unexpected will occur with a partner, who could be described as combative. Verbalize more of what you want. Make an adjustment that a boss or higher-up demands. Tonight: Say “no” to an extravagance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll beam in more of what you want because of your ability to brainstorm well with one specific person. Reach out to someone who always sheds clarity onto a situation. Screen calls as you weigh the pros and cons of a key matter. Tonight: Take the lead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make it OK to be a little less positive at the moment, especially if you want to air out a concern.

You have a strong sense of direction, but you might want to evaluate the pros and cons of a problem before taking any action. Use caution with spending.

Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Zero in on what you want. You can’t underestimate someone else’s role in a particular situation. You might not want to face the music; however, if you do, the outcome ultimately could become even more positive and upbeat. Tonight: Where your friends are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Verbalize more of what you want. Be direct in how you handle a problem. Discussions will be animated, and you’ll get a better sense of where others are coming from as a result.

Make an effort to come up with a good solution that works for everyone. Tonight: A must appearance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep reaching out to a friend or loved one who means a lot to you. Your imagination and creativity might not be putting the correct slant on a matter. Stay zeroed in on what is important.

A friendship means a lot more than you might realize. Tonight: Consider an offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

A partner will offer you a myriad of solutions. The issue is deciding whether you would like to act on any of them. A discussion could trigger some anger, and you might lose your cool. Stay centered with a family member you care a lot about. Tonight: Togetherness counts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to others; they have a lot to share. You could be frustrated when dealing with a personal matter. Communication will remain active, but you might notice a change of tone. You also could be taken aback by everything you hear. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pace yourself, and know that you have a lot to do. You could be amazed by what you can accomplish, especially if you funnel your frustration into activity.

As a result, you might be more upbeat than you have been in a while. Tonight: Keep yourself busy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Encourage a brainstorming session. You could be delighted

by the solution that emerges, as well as by the good will that evolves. Others seem to be more than willing to pitch in and help, so be sure to let them. A friend might be overserious. Tonight: Where the fun is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A stop in the boss’s office will tell you that you have a lot of ground to cover. Demands on the homefront also could keep you more than busy. Understand where someone else is coming from, or at least try to ascertain what is going on. Tonight: At home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You must relax and go with the flow. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening and by how much you need to do. Allow your creativity to flourish, especially when dealing with a difficult person at a distance. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have given the past 10 years to a man I love very much. “Cliff” wants to marry me, but I’ve turned him down. The problem is, he wants us to get married and each live in our own houses.

We are both 67 years old. Right now, Cliff spends weekends at my place. When I suggest going to his house on the occasional weekend, he says no, claiming he hasn’t had time to clean or there are no groceries or my bed is more comfortable and my TV is bigger, etc., etc. When I suggested we purchase a house together, Cliff said he will never leave his house. Ever. He thinks I should put my stuff in storage and move in with only my clothes.

I feel so defeated. Cliff says he loves me, but admits he likes to live by himself. We tried counseling, but he doesn’t like what they say to him. I broke up with him and have even gone out on a few dates, but it only makes me miss him more. Any advice? -- Ohio Dear Ohio: Cliff sounds set in his ways and nervous about changes to his environment.

He thinks if he keeps his house exactly as it is, his life will stay exactly the same, and he finds great comfort in that. You aren’t going to win this fight without negative repercussions, so decide whether marriage is your goal. There is no reason the two of you cannot continue as you are and take marriage off the table altogether. But if you want to marry and actually live together, Cliff is not your guy.

Dear Annie: How can I get my wife to travel? We have been married for 55 years and have not taken any long vacations together.

Years ago, I traveled for work and loved it.

My wife has never held an outside job. She stayed home to raise our four children and now takes care of our great-grandson.

My wife inherited some money from a relative, but she hoards it for herself. We can afford to travel, but she won’t. Please help me out. I want to see places before I die. -- Sam in Atlanta Dear Sam: You will have to see them without your wife. There may be myriad reasons why she doesn’t wish to travel. She could be afraid of flying or of unfamiliar places; she could find travel uninteresting or exhausting; she may not want to leave her great-grandson; she may think she is too old. You could ask whether she would take a short trip to a nearby place -- say a weekend in Savannah or a mini-vacation with your great-grandson -- and then perhaps convince her to travel farther afield. If she absolutely refuses, look into going on your own through group tours or traveling with friends. But don’t expect her to use her inheritance money for your pursuits. You’ll have to find another way to pay for this.

Dear Annie: Here’s my response to “Not a Lawyer,” whose family told him that lawyers don’t give out free advice: A doctor and a lawyer were walking out of church one morning after services. The doctor couldn’t stop complaining that wherever he went people approached him asking medical questions and wanting free advice.

The lawyer explained that he, too, was once the target of people asking him for free advice, but he found a way to end it. “How did you manage it?” asked the doctor. “Oh, that was easy,” the lawyer replied. “I started sending out bills, and soon enough the problem was solved.” The following week, the doctor opened a letter from the lawyer that contained a bill for his services.

My wife and I enjoy reading your column every day. -- M.S., Montreal, Quebec Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Lionel loved the outdoors. He enjoyed years of hunting big game animals, chasing cougars up and down the mountains with his many cougar hounds and also proudly accomplished getting his sheep â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand Slamâ&#x20AC;?.

Lionel spent many years pheasant and geese hunting in Alberta with his greatly loved Labrador dogs, his family and good friends Gordie and Frank. Port Alice on Vancouver Island was home to Lionel during the salmon season where he spent many hours on the ocean fishing, just to catch â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big Oneâ&#x20AC;?!

Lionel will be greatly missed by all his family, especially his wife and best friend of 56 years, Amy. Lionel is survived by his loving wife Amy, his children Doug (Patti), Dawn (Sylvan), Trish (George) and Janet (Dennis), his grandchildren Chelsey, Brenden, Kevin (Christine), Katie, Crystal (Trevor), Andrew (Kristin), Sheldon, Travis, Brittany, Annie (Adrien), Drew (Reagan) and David and his great grandchildren Natalie, Madeline and Jayce.

The family sincerely thanks all the doctors and nurses for their compassionate and tender care of Lionel. We would also like to thank the pharmacy staff at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

There will not be a funeral service at this time. The family will have a private memorial service for Lionel at a later date.

Obituaries Albert Fred Stayura 1930 - 2014

**Yard and Lawn care **Rototilling

Albert passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of April 15, 2014 at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook at 83 years of age.

Albert was born on June 6, 1930 to Michael and Annie Stayura near Daysland, Alberta. When he was 11 years old the family moved to Cranbrook. Upon graduation from High School, Albert began work at Kelly Douglas as a warehouseman and worked his way up to becoming a foreman. He worked for the company for 35 years before his retirement.

In his younger years, Albert enjoyed 5 pin bowling and he was on a team for many years. He liked the outdoors, and especially enjoyed spending time in his garden. Fishing was his favourite sport. He went a lot of fishing trips locally with his family and friends.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

a photo of 1. Take your house. stk#1360

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

Transport Canada spending $9.2 million to improve railway crossing safety C ANADIAN PRESS

Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary / University of Michigan News Service / Tane Casserly

Divers examine boulders on the bottom of Lake Huron near Alpena, Mich., that were used as caribou drive lanes by prehistoric hunters in this June 13, 2011 file photo.

Prehistoric hunting structures found under Lake Huron Bob Weber Canadian Press

Archaeologists have discovered sophisticated prehistoric stone walls deep beneath the surface of Lake Huron that give the clearest portrait yet of the mysterious people who lived in the Great Lakes region at the end of the Ice Age. “It’s just way more complex than anything we’ve seen before,’’ said John O’Shea, a University of Michigan archeologist who published his findings Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Since 2008, O’Shea and his colleagues have been investigating an underwater ridge in Lake Huron that runs roughly between Alpena, Mich., and Point Clark, Ont. As the glaciers were beating their final retreat about 9,000 years ago, water in the lake was about 100 metres below today’s level and the Alpena-Amberley Ridge was exposed.

That ridge formed a narrow corridor between what is now northern Michigan and southern Ontario. Its subarctic environment of tamarack, spruce and wetland made it a perfect migration route for vast herds of caribou that roamed the area.

“They were massive,’’ said O’Shea, who suggests those herds were at least equal to the tens and hundreds of thousands of animals that make up modern caribou herds in the Canadian Arctic.

“I’m imagining seas of animals going through there.’’

The paleo-Indians who were moving onto land the glaciers were slowly exposing made good use of the animals. O’Shea has found more than 60 stone constructions under the water that are likely to have been used as hunting blinds.

But his most recent discovery is far and beyond his other finds.

In 37 metres of water, just over 50 kilometres from shore, O’Shea was looking at two stone lines forming a lane about 30 metres long and eight metres wide which ended in a corral-type structure.

It is very similar to structures seen on Baffin Island that were used by hunters to channel caribou along in their natural direction of migration until they were driven into an enclosure for killing.

O’Shea also found a series of V-shaped hunting blinds which could be used by individuals or small groups. He even found flakes of flint from ancient toolmakers.

A picture is beginning to emerge of a hunting and gathering people who brought down caribou in small groups in the fall, dug in snug and lived off food caches and animals such as beaver in the winter. They then gathered for a big caribou hunt in the spring.

MILTON, Ont. — The federal government says it will spend $9.2 million this year to improve safety at railway crossings.

The money is being made available as part of a cost-sharing agreement with railways and governments that have authority over local roads.

Transport Canada says the improvements could include installing flashing lights and bells, gate barriers and other devices at crossings.

The Transportation Safety Board has said there have been 658 accidents over the last 10 years at so-called passive railway crossings, including 59 deaths and 107 serious injuries.

Studies suggest accidents and fatality rates drop significantly after

grade crossing improvements are completed.

There is also money to encourage the closure of some railway crossings.

“This investment will enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists at over 600 locations across the country, and help save lives,’’ Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said in release.

Last March the Transportation Safety Board said the federal government should conduct research into new low-cost alert systems to bolster safety at passive railway crossings.

It made the finding in a report into a collision involving a camper van and freight train near Broadview, Sask., that killed four people in broad daylight in August

CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld

Firefighters and paramedics move a passenger to a waiting ambulance after a Via Rail train and transit bus collided in Ottawa on September 18, 2013.

2012.

The report said a Canadian Pacific Railway freight train travelling at 85 km/h sounded its horn and had its lights

on, but struck the van broadside at a railway crossing that had only standard reflector warning signs.

The report warned

the risk of such accidents remains until better warning systems are required at railway crossings without bells, lights and gates.

B.C. children’s watchdog calls for extra help for foster kids past age 19 C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia needs to stop cutting off children in government care when they turn 19, says the province’s youth watchdog.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond said Monday that as many as 700 youth “age out’’ of the foster care system in B.C. every year.

She said that without proper support they are less likely to get a higher education and more likely to struggle with unemployment, crime and homelessness.

Youth need help with a transition that can be challenging for any young person, she said in her latest report, which lists several recommendations, including extending care up to age 25 for young adults attending post-secondary education.

Turpel-Lafond also said a youth secretariat should be put

Don Healy, Regina Leader-Post

B.C. children’s advocate Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. in place to help all former foster kids up to age 25 to get the health care and social services they need.

But Children’s Minister

Stephanie Cadieux said the government does not have any plans to extend services to youth past age 19.

“Our current service plan

and the province’s three-year budget plan don’t contemplate a mandate expansion or the establishment of new offices at this time,’’ Cadieux told reporters.

Cadieux agreed that the outcomes for young adults who leave care are not good and said the government is trying to emphasize the adoption of older youth so they have the support they need for future success.

“It is most important that we actually focus energies on trying to achieve better outcomes for these kids much earlier and those outcomes would be adoption into permanent family situations,’’ she said.

“The reality is that much of the supports and services that we offer in British Columbia meet or exceed what is offered in other provinces,’’ she said.

B.C.’s outbreak of measles declared over C ANADIAN PRESS

SURREY, B.C. — The largest outbreak of measles in British Columbia in nearly 30 years has been declared over in the Fraser Valley.

Dr. Paul Van Buynder (Binder), Fraser Health chief medical health officer, says the region had more than 400 cases

of measles in a four-week period.

He notes immunization is the best defence against the preventable disease that’s been eliminated in Canada.

The health authority has been working with schools, community groups and churches since the outbreak

was declared on March 8 and has set up immunization clinics in public health and doctors’ offices.

Many of the measles cases occurred in the communities of Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs and Hope and spread from an unimmunized reli-

gious group.

Fraser Health says the federal government offers an immunization app and B.C. provides free text reminders of appointments that make it easy for parents to keep track of their child’s vaccine schedule.
